Yearbook Staff Decides to Drop Spring
Supplement Following Funding Confusion
YEARBOOK
► After an unexpected bill, the
supplement (which wouldcover
allspring events after February)
was cancelled.
by JANINE LEIGH KRAMER
QC Senior Staff Writer
The spring supplement for the
Acropolis, the yearbook, which
would include all events occurring
after February, will not be printed
this year.
Toni Panetta, Acropolis
editor, said that the original
planning for the supplement was
canceled when they were forced
to pay off an unexpected bill that
left the Acropolis without the
money to do the supplement.
The events that are not
included in the book are
Luminarias, Spring Sing, Mona
Kai, Side Saddle, Luau, the
i.aciusse Championship and
graduation.
This has upset some students.
"A yearbook is supposed to be for
a whole year, not just part of it.
It's not like they can't do it. It
sounds like a cop out, like they
don't care enough to do their job.
How can they just do half their

job?" said senior Amber Wallace.
According to Panetta, the
yearbook staff had originally
planned to do a supplement, and
requested money for it in their
annual budget proposal to
Publications Board last fall.
"It's not that we didn't want
to do it. It was hard for us to give
up, but at the time the decision had
to be made, it just wasn't an
option," said Panetta.
"When we mailed off our last
payment with our final book
shipment deadline, we soon after
got another bill in mid-March for
last year's supplement," said
Panetta.
"We had to pay off the
overdue bill and we therefore did
not have the money to do the
supplement," said Panetta.
Questions have been raised
over the procedure by which
yearbook spent the supplement
money on something else.
*: "If money is to be spent on
ething other 44*a» what it has
been allocated for, it needs to be
approved by Publications Board,"
said senior Megan Taylor, QC
Managing Editor and Publications
Board member.
The yearbook staff
investigated whether it would be
possible to do a shorter supplement
or print less copies, but it wasn't
possible with the money left,
according to Panetta.
The yearbook never went to
Publications Board for additional
funds, according to senior John
Lawler, chair of Publications
Board.
According to Panetta, she did
not ask Publications Board for
funding earlier because she
believed that it did not have the
money. "This whole year
Publications Board was on a real
tight budget. We had to fight for
the money we got," she said.
The Quaker Campus has
offered excess advertising revenue
and there is enough money in the
Publication's Board account to
cover the cost of the supplement,
according to Lawler.
"Even if we got the money
tomorrow we couldn't do it. We

I still have much to learn."
Sophomore Michael Garabedian was awarded the Robert M.
